Five U.S. War Planes Reportedly Enter Iran Air Space
Five U.S. War Planes Reportedly Enter Iran Air Space
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Sunday 29th August, 2004

Five U.S. war planes have trespassed Iranian air space and may have been testing its air defenses, Iran's official news agency said Friday.

The five planes entered Iranian air space late Aug. 19 from the southwestern Shalamcheh border and flew over the city of Khorramshahr, the official Islamic republic news agency said, citing reports earlier this week in the Tehran press.

Wonder who gave the order and what timing to invade their air space

2. They are trying to provoke Iran
Plane gets shot down (perfectly allowable under intl. law when you violate a nation's airspace without permission), next thing you know we have been "attacked" by Iran, and then its off to the races. A war with Iran would require a draft.

3. What timing right when Israel agent is in the Pentagon
Really would like Congress to question who gave that order when tensions are so high

Escalation I agree thats the purpose and to get ready to bomb the Nuclear reactors in Iran they are toast....

6. I've Never Heard of 'Big News Network'
I'm not saying it has no validity, but I like to see the source of articles posted on news sites of this sort.

15. I Didn't Question its Validity
I thought that was pretty clear when I said, 'I'm not saying it has no validity.' I just like to see the source when a news provider posts a story on its website. I don't think that's too much to ask. Don't doubt the story - never did.

7. Do you think that
there will come a time when the world decides enough is enough and sends troops in to fight us? And do you think that going into Iran will help * or hurt him? I can't help but feel these people are having some serious problems .. what is it called? Where they think they are omnipotent? Or visions of grandeur?

Could be the October surprise.
These planes are just gathering info on Iran's radar frequencies and air defense to prepare for the strike.

12. Putting the pieces together
October... RNC... Sept. 11 surprise?

One of JMM co-authors sez (wish the damn article would come out already):

A second source I met with this past week told me another story. A couple weeks ago, he got called by a consultant to the Pentagon he knows. A small group of Air Force reservists who speak Persian were being trained by the Pentagon at a camp in Virginia in a kind of Iran immersion course, that involved not only language immersion, but “how to play Iranian card games.” The consultant called my second source, an Iran expert, to see if this small elite group could meet with him. He said among the group of four that was supposed to come was Larry Franklin. Franklin in fact did not come, but sent his regrets in a note. My second source said by the way he was terribly impressed with the Iranian language skills that the group that did come possessed.

19. Looking for bombing targets are they?

Edited to add:

We must free the folks in Iran from killing wayward 16 year old girls, and to give the women their civil rights to buy panties from Victoria Secrets, or where ever they get their sexy underwear.

23. I am wondering that myself??? Who is Commander & Chief???
cause it would be nice to know what US is going to do if Israel bombs those reactors and Iran has already said a Preemptive strike will precipitate retaliation

21. We Cannot Go To War With Iran Without A Draft
Iran is not Iraq. They haven't been under sanctions for ten years. They won't be depleted. Also, we cannot hold onto Iraq and fight Iran without a military draft.

24. Oh Wow I found it WHOAH its right across from Kuwait and
Busher is across from Kuwait through the Persian gulf

Why in the Hell did they go that way when they flew over Iran

Wow this is really puzzling...It looks to me like they are looking at Iran troop buildup on the Border...Kuwait is definitely vulnerable

This is fascinating I gotta tell ya

28. This is a probing attack
See how Iran scrambles their air force, what kind of radars they have, etc.

Modern French radar gives US trouble for a few months until they can figure it out with software. They will keep doing this to provoke responses, so when and if they do go in they are prepared.
